The true story behind the rise of a tyrannical genius, how he
transformed an industry, and why everyone is out to get him.In this fascinating exposé, two investigative reporters trace the hugely successful career of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Part entrepreneur, part enfant terrible, Gates has become the most powerful -- and feared -- player in the computer industry, and arguably the richest man in America. In Hard Drive, investigative reporters Wallace and Erickson follow Gates from his days as an unkempt thirteen-year-old computer hacker to his present-day status as a ruthless billionaire CEO. More than simply a "revenge of the nerds" story though, this is a balanced analysis of a business triumph, and a stunningly driven personality. The authors have spoken to everyone who knows anything about Bill Gates and Microsoft -- from childhood friends to employees and business rivals who reveal the heights, and limits, of his wizardry. From Gates's singular accomplishments to his equally extraordinary brattiness, arrogance, and hostility (the atmosphere is so intense at Microsoft that stressed-out programmers have been known to ease the tension of their eighty-hour workweeks by exploding homemade bombs), this is a uniquely revealing glimpse of the person who has emerged as the undisputed king of a notoriously brutal industry.

早期讀過的一本小書,記住的不多瞭
評分17年前齣版的書,已略顯陳舊。材料很詳實,有很多關於Bill和MS團隊作風和性格的描述。重點講的就是書的標題“Hard Drive”。不過讀者閱讀後除瞭更生動地瞭解,蓋茨先生是個強勢、變態的技術沙皇之外,很難得到更多的啓發。
評分10000hours rule, lakeside, tech……marketing, confrontational, partnership, vender, platform, learn from small startup…monopoly…前傳
評分一本26年前的老書,但是依然引人入勝。非常詳細的描述瞭蓋茨以及微軟到成書時的曆史,商業細節分析深入,值得一讀。蓋茨叔叔當時很酷,比現在的各種創始人都酷。
